Mohammad Tawhidi, the self-proclaimed "Imam of Peace", is a useful idiot whom refers to himself as "human-wing" to downplay the fact that he gained a following amongst the right and far-right both for fueling their islamophobia by sharing articles from questionable sources and bashing the left.

Executive order: A lot of people seem to think that these let the president rule by decree, bypassing the Constitution and Congress altogether by letting the president do whatever he wants. It is also believed that each president issues more of them than his predecessor, subverting the legislative process. Neither claim is true.

The K-Pg Extinction, commonly known as the "death of the dinosaurs," is just a redirect to a section of geologic timeline at the moment. There's a bit of woo surrounding hypotheses alternative to the commonly-accepted asteroid impactor. Perhaps even a page on mass extinctions in general.

The Freedom Caucus is made up of 38 Republican members of the House.

America's War on Sex: The Attack on Law, Lust and Liberty, by Marty Klein.

Something along the lines of race and police brutality in the United States – title flexible, obviously – is desperately needed. There are tons of major incidents that have received widespread coverage (Michael Brown and Eric Garner being probably the most prominent) that all follow the same pattern: cop shoots and kills black person in circumstances that didn't warrant violent action, then gets away with it. Cover the incidents, cover the statistics, cover right-wing media distortions of the incidents, cover protests, cover riots and maybe even online responses (#BlackLivesMatter).

We should have an article on Christian supremacy, the societal mindset in the US promotes the superiority of Christianity and by extension Christians, be they social or institutionalized norms. (Think of the phrase "It's the Christian thing to do.") Note: we already have an article on the United States as a Christian nation.

Either saturated fat or cholesterol: Since the discovery that there are two types of LDL cholesterol -- small, dense and large, fluffy -- the paleo diet crowd has started using that fact as an excuse to claim that saturated fat doesn't contribute to heart disease. (one example) Also, recently, the health difference between long-chain and medium-chain saturated fatty acids have come under scrutiny.

False rape accusations. While this is partially covered in the article on rape apology, it could use its own article, since it's the favourite canard of the "men's rights" movement and it seems to creep into any serious discussion about rape.

NoFap and Your Brain On Porn. If you've been on Reddit for long enough you should know what NoFap is: A subreddit (and now a site) about abstaining from porn and/or masturbation; movement is full of claims that abstaining from porn and/or masturbation gives them "superpowers". Your Brain On Porn is a site and book by Gary Wilson claiming that pornography is the new cocaine. I don't have a particular stance on it, but I'd like to see some RationalWiki writers take a look at them.

The O. J. Simpson murder case (officially the People of the State of California v. Orenthal James Simpson) was a criminal trial held at the Los Angeles County Superior Court in California. The former professional football star and actor O. J. Simpson was tried on two counts of murder after the deaths of his ex-wife, Nicole Brown Simpson, and waiter Ronald Lyle Goldman, in June 1994. We can write an article discussing the case not just as a cultural phenomenon but also discuss the overwhelming amount of logical fallacies (emotional appeal, Chewbacca defense, prosecutor's fallacy), dishonesty tactics and evidence gathering mistakes that took place during the trial and/or behind the scenes, which all had great impact on law in America. We can also discuss the impact on race relations that took place at the time. Simpson, being an African American, had a strong appeal toward the black community because of his seemingly squeaky clean image, charismatic personality and his rags to riches story with the majority of them believing he was innocent and being persecuted for his race. Because of this, there was a height of fear in Los Angeles of another race riot worse than the 1992 Los Angeles riots if he was prosecuted. Best books to use as research for the article would be Jeffrey Toobin's The Run of His Life: The People v. O.J. Simpson, and Vincent Bugliosi's Outrage: The Five Reasons O.J. Simpson Got Away With Murder.

Doctor Who Arguably the most popular science fiction program in the world. Numerous scientists have commented on the possibility of the various technologies addressed, though seemingly not hard science advocate Richard Dawkins, despite being married to actress Lalla Ward who played Time Lady Romana. [1] It would be worth including a discussion of the actual educational merits of the show which began as a BBC children's program, and whether or not it promotes harmful science woo doing harm to the young as the Chinese government alleges all time travel fiction does. [techland.time.com/2011/04/13/china-decides-to-ban-time-travel/] There are bound to be homophobes complaining about the latest companion being gay. [2] As of 2018, Doctor Who is now a woman.[21]

ComicsGate is a political movement by the alt-right whose goal is to ‘combat SJW control of popular media’.

Something about pedometer/Fitbits,steps per day targets, or similar. There's a lot of scientific debate about whether walking 10000 steps per day is necessarily good for you and the 10,000 target seems to be an arbitrary figure somebody just made up one day.[7][8][9] On the other hand, walking more is probably good for you.

The Canary, a pro-Jeremy Corbyn British news/campaigning website. It's associated by some with a fake news perspective, pushing endless biased reporting, and also criticised for its sometimes toxic tone (including attacks on the BBC). So is it the left-wing Breitbart or a legitimate news source?

The Love That Dares to Speak Its Name by James Kirkup, a 1976 poem about Jesus having gay sex with a Roman soldier. It was the last work to be subject of a successful blasphemy prosecution in England, brought against Gay News Ltd and editor Denis Lemon.

With Canadian election season quickly approaching, articles on new party leaders and prime ministerial candidates Andrew Scheer and Jagmeet Singh would probably be appreciated by Canuck RWers, or at least a more up-to-date expansion of their parties' pages (Conservative and NDP) commenting on their new platforms in response to Justin Trudeau's government

Hitler' was announced as part of a crowd funding campaign. The sequel is a response to the rise of online antisemitism brought on by Donald Trump's election.

Eye color, specifically changing eye color that some claim correlates with their mood, weather, fatigue, or aging. I've also seen several versions of this eye color chart which does not accurately portray how Punnett squares really work[51] and could potentially lead some to falsely believe that infidelity has occurred. This could be its own article about eye colors or even just a new section added to the already existing eye article.

Michael Knowles, part time actor, part time writer for The Daily Wire, and overall someone who comes off as insufferable. "Wrote" a book purporting to list reasons to vote democrat. Spoiler alert, it's just 266 blank pages. It became a #1 best seller on Amazon and (perhaps not surprisingly) Donald Trump praised the book as "a great book for your reading entertainment". An article on him would be interesting.

Frantz Fanon, Martinican existentialist psychiatrist and revolutionary theorist, known for his ideas about how colonised people internalise the racism of their oppressors, and how revolutionary violence is the best way of re-establishing dignity and autonomy in colonised people. Influential in anti-colonial studies and via Sayyid Qutb and Ali Shariati on radical Islamism. As well as the question of whether his ideas are batshit crazy or merely a challenge to shallow liberal humanist thought, his work relates to political extremism and a bunch of other relevant topics.

Prostate massage/milking. At times used during prostate exams for legit medical purposes, and also for individual sexual purposes. However, there are proponents who claim that prostate massage or milking can prevent prostate cancer and bring other health benefits. There have also been some statement on medical websites online saying that it could spread prostate cancer if present. This is an issue that I think warrants a RW article on.

Not sure of a title, maybe House of Commons paedophile hoax, but the panic over every British politician in the 1970s and 80s being a paedophile, which was motivated by one or two genuine cases such as Cyril Smith but rose to cover Edward Heath, Lord McAlpine and many more.

Alfie Evans case - I know too little about medicine to do this but he was a 18 month old British toddler who passed away recently after his life support system was cut off after his doctors realised that he would never recover from his condition and that leaving it on, as well as moving him to Italy as the parents wanted to do would merely exacerbate and prolong his suffering. Before his body was even cold, people around the world were condemning the doctors who did so as murderers and making death treats against them. Notably it has become a media sensation in the US as an emotional argument as to why socialised medicine is evil.

The Believer is a 2001 American drama film directed by Henry Bean and written by Bean and Mark Jacobson. It stars Ryan Gosling as Daniel Balint, a Jew who becomes a Neo-Nazi. The film is loosely based on the true story of Dan Burros, a member of the American Nazi Party and the New York branch of the United Klans of America. He committed suicide after being revealed as Jewish by a New York Times reporter. While the film has been well praised, especially for Gosling's performance, unfortunately the film has been dangerously misinterpreted by many Neo-Nazi and white supremacist groups as being pro-antisemtic and pro-racist.

They have adopted a constitution and they intend to access outer space free of the control of existing nations. They are in the process of electing a 150-member parliament and they plan to seek recognition as a nation-state. Their first satellite, named Asgardia-1, was launched into space on 12 November 2017. Currently just a single paragraph in the Micronation article.

Telltale AtheistCreate draft is an atheist youtuber. His content is primarily aimed against cults, most specifically the Jehovah's Witnesses, of which he is a shunned ex-member, and he often reacts to and comments on their propaganda. He has stated he would like his channel to be "pro-science" as well as "anti-cult."

David PetersCreate draft a notorious crank among the palaeontlogical community. Peters runs the webshites Reptile Evolution and The Pterosaur Heresies, in which he spews pseudoscientific claims about various prehistoric tetrapods, particularly reptiles (as the first site says). Peters claims to using a new technique called "Digital Graphics Segregation" (literally editing images of fossils in Photoshop) to find structures that supposedly remain undiscovered to mainstream palaeontologists, mostly because said "structures" are artefacts of his editing. Peters also comes to... interesting conclusions about phylogeny. For instance, he claims pterosaurs are not even archosaurs, but rather lepidosaurs (lizards, snakes, tuataras, etc.). Peters has also harassed several noted palaeontologists for disagreeing with him. As if that wasn't enough, his drivel is often the only readily available source of information on obscure taxa, so he keeps getting Google search results every day by the uninformed public. I,the writer of this entry, seriously question how this guy managed to slip under our radar, tbh.

Michael CaputoCreate draft Christian apologist who runs the hilariously named website http://atheismexposed.tripod.com/index.htm and attempts to "debunk" atheism and "prove" Christianity. He wrote several books which involve copy and pasting a list of Christian figures which unsurprisingly have no ratings.

Emanuel Swedenborg, 18th century scientist and philosopher who also wrote a very detailed book on the afterlife, called Heaven and Hell, and was very influential on later mystical traditions.

Reinhard Heydrich, a major Nazi figure considered among the most directly responsible for the Holocaust.

Kidnapped for Christhere, a movie that is somehow worse than Jesus Camp, it involves kids getting kidnapped from their homes and put into a Jamaican "reeducation" school. Activities there include: punishing people for things they can't biologically control (i.e. panic attacks), beating them senseless with a wooden paddle for little to no reason, restricting any and all communication between kids and their parents, etc.

Plastic or Plastic pollution.[33] The subject of a lot of environmentalist scare stories.[34][35][36] But are they justified? What can be done? Are plastic bag taxes and plastic bottle deposit schemes useful or just window dressing?

Zuma, the Pentagon satellite recently launched by SpaceX. Right now, it seems like it simply failed. However, that conclusions hurts not only the pride in US military and technology, but also the faith of myriad geeks in SpaceX and Elon Musk. This heady mix resulted in many theories that the failure was a false flag, it's working fine because it's stealth and it's actually meant to counter North Korean EMPs.

17

Morocco. A major player in regional politics and economics, has been attempted and deleted thrice. It's also committed genocide against the Sahrawi ethnic group.

17

Self-hating Jew or self-loathing Jew is a pejorative term used for a Jewish person who is alleged to hold antisemitic views. Bobby Fischer is an example of this.

13

Laura Huhtasaari. Think Marine Le Pen, but with more overt racism and sex appeal. Currently in charge of the True Finns party, the xenophobic party of Finland, but is getting international attention due to, well, racism in Scandinavia seems to be something alt-righters are obsessed with. Also, a Creationist.

Michael Parenti - American journalist and political scientist who wrote To Kill a Nation: The Attack on Yugoslavia which supposedly pushes genocide denial.

Hunting and Conservation; an article discussing how trophy hunting is being used to provide conservation in Africa by creating economic incentives for conservation over vast areas, including areas which may be unsuitable for alternative wildlife-based land uses such as photographic ecotourism. Arguments for and against should be used.

Collagen, the protein which is key for our skin make-up. Beauty industry had long capitalised on it with creams, injections, etc. Recently, drinks and other such supplements appeared, as reported here and here, even though collagen obviously doesn't survive going through the digestion system. More dubious links[40][41][42][43][44] Skeptical: Arthritis Research UK[45]

10

Juicero, the $400 juice machine that received tons of funding before anyone realised it only worked with sachets you could squeeze by hand anyway. This a clear example of irrationality by itself, but to add extra juice to the story, its CEO is a raw water fan as well.

Jesse Lee Peterson is a far-right conservative activist, media personality, and modern day Uncle Tom. He currently runs the TheFallenState channel on YouTube where he invites different guests to express his pro-white and anti-feminist views toward. To many people, Peterson is ofen called "Uncle Ruckus”. On his radio show, JLP Talk, he thanked God and the white people for enslaving black people and has stated that blacks were better off under Jim Crow laws. Peterson also dislikes feminism and believe women shouldn't even be allowed to vote.

Cough medicine and claims that it does not work.[46][47] There seems to be an idea promoted by various alternative healthcare practitioners and critics of conventional medicine/drug companies/etc that cough syrup is completely ineffective, thus indicating that all modern medicine is a con.[48] Criticisms of OTC cough medicine are not always unjustified: a Cochrane review found a lack of evidence of efficacy in treating accute coughs due to the poor quality of existing studies[49], the NHS in the UK recommends drinking honey and lemon instead[50], and unless you have a serious underlying disease like TB, coughs tend to be self-limiting. However, cough drops and codeine might be beneficial[51], cough medicines can also help you sleep[52], and cough medicines can help with coughs from non-viral causes.

17

Balloon releases, in particular their impact on the environment/wildlife. They are commonly done to celebrate or to commemorate something. Detractors claim that balloon releases result in the deaths of wildlife, whereas the balloon industry claims otherwise. A very hot button issue.

Lawrence WilsonCreate draft (website drlwilson.com). Promotes "nutritional balancing" and believes the world is run by "Rogues", extraterrestrial beings who manipulate society with a nice bit of jonanism

AATIP - a Pentagon program that basically searched for UFOs in early 2010s, cost 20 million, found nothing and was strongly backed by Harry Reid at the time. It hit the news very recently, so it might be nice to get an article on this while the usual suspects are still scrambling to shoehorn it into their theories.

12

Camp of the Saints - a 1973 book by French "author" Jean Raspail that is a popular reference point for alt-right in regards to the refugee crisis and such. Given that a pdf of it is available online, it's best to do a chapter-by-chapter breakdown to show what people like Steve Bannon and his fans actually praise when they refer to it. Chapter One already describes people on migrant ships as "ant columns" and "microbes in a culture", and bemoans that "scorn of a people of other races, the knowledge that one's own is best" was quashed by "the monstrous cancer implanted in the Western conscience." There's also praise for South Africa at the time as "white nation with eighty percent blacks, not a black nation with twenty percent whites" and what not.

What the Health, a documentary available on Netflix that pushes a vegan diet.

21

Muscular Christianity was a philosophical movement that originated in England in the mid-19th century, characterised by a belief in patriotic duty, manliness, the moral and physical beauty of athleticism, teamwork, discipline, self-sacrifice, and "the expulsion of all that is effeminate, un-English and excessively intellectual". This movement spread to other countries in the 19th century. Today this movement is well entrenched with athletes, most notably Tim Tebow, Manny Pacquiao, Josh Hamilton, and George Wilson.

15

The Billy Graham rule or Pence rule is a practice among male Protestant Christians, in which they avoid spending time alone with women to whom they are not married. It is named after Billy Graham, the most notable proponent of the practice. It is adopted as a display of integrity, a means of avoiding sexual temptation, and to avoid any appearance of doing something considered morally objectionable, but has been criticized as being sexist.

44

Gun control in Nazi Germany - Whether as a separate article or as a sub-section in the article about gun control. It's commonly asserted that the Nazis took away everybody's guns and thus were able to begin committing genocide because they were disarmed. This flies in the face of that fact that the Nazis actually relaxed Germany's gun laws (albeit not for the Jews) after the populace were disarmed by allies after World War 1.

Supersessionism, also called replacement theology or fulfillment theology, is a theological view on the current status of the church in relation to the Jewish people and Judaism. It holds that the Christian Church has succeeded the Israelites as the definitive people of God and that the New Covenant has replaced or superseded the Mosaic covenant. This doctrine has been said to justify anti-Semitism within fundamentalist Christian and Islamic circles.

Robert LindsayCreate draft (webshite), ex Communist Party USA founder of liberal race realism and the altleft, has a IQ of 147 and is friends with Jared Taylor; Chris Langnan and Gilead Atzmon once commented on his blog

22

There should be an article on Turning Point USA and/or its founder, Charlie Kirk, considering the fact that they were the ones behind the infamous "Professor Watchlist" site, which borders on McCarthyism with its mission to "expose professors who discriminate against conservative students, promote anti-American values and advance leftist propaganda in the classroom."

26

Guns, Germs, and Steel is a book by Jared Diamond that tries to explain why Eurasian and North African civilizations were historically dominant.While generally well received critics argue against many of the details as well as the lack of accounting for human action

Central limit theorem. The central limit theorem states that if you aggregate enough random variables, you find its sum within a normal distribution. According to FiveThirtyEight, the central limit theorem plays a key role in mathematical "proofs" of God's existence. </ fivethirtyeight on the subject

War Room. From the people who brought you Fireproof, comes another terrible film that follows the same basic plot as Fireproof only with black people instead of white people!

A Twitter account called AntifemcomicsCreate draft[53] used to post strawmen comics. Comics can still be seen from the hashtag.

Scared Straight! is a 1978 documentary directed by Arnold Shapiro. The subject of the documentary is a group of juvenile delinquents and their three-hour session with actual convicts. It had several follow ups including Beyond Scared Straight on A&E, which Shapiro served as an executive producer. This article should explain why this type of juvenile rehabilitation program and other similar programs are outdated and ineffective in deterring criminal activity. These types of programs can also be harmful and increase delinquency relative to no intervention at all with the same youths.

Megalodon, the most overhyped predator in history. A lot of information about this giant shark is put out all over the internet, and a lot of it is terrible. This article could debunk a lot of the crap people say about megalodon, as well as give some basic info about it. Given how it's such a popular thing to talk about, how have we not gotten an article about megalodon yet? Sandbox page here, open for editing.

The Portable Atheist compiled by Christopher Hitchens. It contains a huge selection of atheist writings from middle age philosophers such as Thomas Hobbes to enlightenment philosophers like David Hume to 19th century philosophers like Karl Marx to Modern philosophers such as Bertrand Russell to present day new atheists such as Sam Harris.

13

The Good Book: A Humanist Bible written by noted atheist academic A C Grayling. It's a book written in the style of the Bible but instead of having religious texts and quotes, it has secular ones instead. It's suppose to show that inspiration, morals and a general guide to life can be secular and areligous.

HmolpediaCreate draft — Supposedly there is a common trait among people of IQ over 200 (e.g. Goethe: 225), like the writer of this huge site and related tomes, which makes them understand some very complex phenomenon which is called human thermodynamics explaining everything, most importantly love and it relieves them of the pains of using excel spreadsheets to find the best mate out of 19 girlfriends; however Goethe’s testimonial is missing.

28

Tim Pool. Tim Pool is an award winning journalist who became famous, particularly on the left due to his reporting on Occupy Wallstreet as well as his work on Vice. However, if you type his name on google and scroll down to the 'People also search for', you see the likes of Dave Rubin, Mike Cernovich, Lauren Southern, Stefen Moleneux, Alex Jones, Tommy Robinson etc. This is due to his huge surge in popularity with the right due to his hostility to antifa, talking about Mainstream media negativly, talk about Google censorship and demonitisation. This doesn't necessarily make him rightwing, but it means most of the people donating money and gifts are right wing and he now in a difficult situation, similar to Dave Rubin, where if he criticises and pisses them off too much, he could loose his livlihood, or at least a good deal of it. [54] (youtube) [55] (twitter) Wikipedia.

Globalism or Globalist. An article on the origins of the term, how it is used as a dog whistle and when if ever it is appropriately used would be interesting.

7

Braving RuinCreate draft. Previously known as Edgy Sphinx before he got exposed for being an alt-righter just pretending to be moderate so he could dog whistle and introduce alt-rightism to centrists, Braving Ruin has such gems on his channel as De-Platforming = Death youtube, "Centrists" are liars (which is a totally not extremist thing to say) (YT again) and a video about (((Google))) (his anti-Semitic Triple parentheses, not mine) (more YT). He currently almost has 10,000 subscribers and over 150,000 views as well as over 4,500 twitter followers.

The Olympics and the World Cup. Beneath the manufactured, feel-good veneer of athletic prowess, international unity and wholesome fun lies a dark reality, which host cities, thankfully, are starting to grow more privy to. Both of these events invariably result in tremendous financial net losses for host cities, both require the construction of venues which, more often than not, are never thereafter used again and which, more often than not, are constructed by migrant laborers subject to borderline slave-like conditions, and both, finally, are essentially money-grubbing opportunities for their disgustingly corrupt organizing bodies. Plus, they're basically dick-measuring contests for countries, aren't they? Are games in which people run around in a circle as fast as they can or kick a leather sphere around really worth looking past all this?

Standing desks, or Dangers of sitting depending on the planned scope of the article. Standing desks are being heavily promoted right now as a cure for the serious and crippling health problems caused by our lifestyles of sitting in the car, sitting in front of the computer for eight hours, sitting in the car again, then sitting in front of Netflix for five hours. The studies that have been done have links to standing desk manufacturers that were not disclosed in the papers, and do not show as much positive effect on these problems as claimed. Independent studies show that standing desks do increase physical activity but have [no real effect on cardiovascular health]; there is emerging evidence that (as anyone who's ever worked retail will tell you) standing on the job is even more damaging to the body; and the frequent canard that hours spent sitting undo the benefits of exercise is not based on any evidence whatsoever. There is even a danger that the standing-health link will be used by ruthless airlines to make flying even worse. Related to the Alexander Technique, the more zealous promoters of which have been known to claim that the chair is the most harmful invention of mankind. (Most Alexander technique teachers are quite happy to use chairs so long as you sit up straight, though.)

Trae Crowder is an American comedian and co-author of The Liberal Redneck Manifesto: Draggin' Dixie Outta the Dark. Crowder attributed his liberal political views to the "abject poverty" of his family during his childhood in rural middle Tennessee. His trademark comedic monologues have garnered both controversy and cumulative views now in the millions on YouTube.

UndoomedCreate draft. Youtube skeptic and atheist. Does a lot of anti-feminist vidoes but has also recently done vidoes against BLM aswell. His main gimmik is that his avatar is slenderman and he has a pretty cool voice. over 310,000 subscribers, over 32,000,000 views and 163 videos.

33

Cosmetics wooCreate draft. Strong overlap with Alternative medicine, Bodybuilding woo, and whatever the Food woo trend is at the time. The beauty industry is one of the primary sources of ambient woo exposure for most people living in modern Western societies, and products using unproven plant extracts for supposed medicinal properties are available at any level of the market, meaning it is very likely that most keen believers of the Naturalistic fallacy came to this belief through shampoo advertisements. It's also on-mission as this has real potential to cause harm, especially to young women; online recipes for "natural", preservative-free personal care products have been known to mutilate skin, rot teeth, and significantly increase risk of skin Cancer, or at least dye people's hairlines neon yellow. Quack beauty products also form a major revenue source for NaturalNews, the Food Babe and Goop, as well as many high-end companies which make a killing through flogging $2000 moisturisers, Swiss apple stem cells, snail slime and copper peptides, none of which are proven to work. At the same time, there are hyped ingredients like retinol, which, while its side effects are significant, has been shown through conventional medical research to cure mild to horrific acne; this is a topic a little more complicated than 'all the gunk is just the same'. Very big and complex topic; current page is a stub.

27

World of Warcraft.The MMO video game for excellence, that has been around for 13 years (and counting) having millions of subscribers. Given its popularity, that it's precisely a video game, its genre (fantasy) and what it entails (Dungeons & Dragons-lifted off stuff as elves, orcs, etc, paganism, magic, demons, dragons, undead, etc.), those reports of people who got addicted to it often to negligent extremes, and sucking more than a black hole, I'm more than sure it will have been the target of Fundies and the like (not to mention sensationalist/dishonest reporters). There have also been a few times when the game got social flak, for things like disbanding a guild for stating they welcomed gay people, and forcing a player-character named "TwoGenders" to change its name. Plus, there was the Corrupted Blood incident.

40

Chapo Trap House, a popular left-wing podcast. While it dedicates much of its time to mocking conspiracy theories of both the left and right, tearing into Austrian school economists, and the various hateful and crankish writings of Very Serious People (many of whom, such as Megan McArdle and Ben Shapiro, are already represented on this wiki), it has also received significant amounts of criticism for its bro-ish, 'dirtbag' tone, casual use of slurs and occasional regurgitation of Tankie talking points. Also subject to a lot of conspiracy theories accusing it of being a Russian psyop.

15

Rwanda, an East African country with progressive (given its area) laws on homosexuality.

26

Semen retention: A form of alternative therapy based around the theory that men who do not ejaculate semen gain superpowers from retaining more masculine essence, such as increased physical strength and various psychic powers. (Think Fortunato from the Wild Cards books.) Derived from an extremely liberal reading of Tantra, and currently promoted by great thinkers such as Mike Cernovich, the Proud Boys (a bunch of wankers who claim to be "no wank") and various bodybuilding and alt-med cranks. While it's partially covered by Masturbation and NoFap, the former is based on crank theories about negative results from masturbating, not the insane claimed benefits of not masturbating, and NoFap is a specific subculture within this larger movement. I think we need a general and, uh, as tasteful as possible overview about this sticky subject.

17

Plant-based enzymesCreate draft: Various businesses and "medical professionals" (who lead said businesses) say that "plant-based enzymes" are apparently not denatured within gastric acid in order to sell them as food supplements. Examples: [74][75]

Tuttle TwinsCreate draft: A children's book series featuring a little boy and girl spouting libertarian talking points. Apparently they're taking the fundie approach and trying to get em' while they're young.

Kaiser Wilhelm II - Ruler of Germany during World War One and coiner of the term "Yellow Peril". While the Entente powers were far from innocent either, he did certainly help escalate tensions with other nations with the naval arms race and ending Otto von Bismarck's policy of not pissing off Russia. After losing the war, rather than blaming himself, blamed the Jews and argued they should all be gassed. I wonder how that turned out?

18

Spoon theory, the mental health taxation thing. Even Wikipedia's article on the subject lacks any mention of evidence for or against the theory. A skeptical treatment is sorely needed somewhere.

International Monetary Fund. I think most people will know about this transnational organization, hated by both libertarians for pushing down the throat Keynesian ideas (Keynes had much to see with it in the post-war years) and leftists for the economic policies pushed by them in those countries that received their bailouts (ask Greece even if the European Central Bank and the European Comission pushed the same ideas, as well as some LatAm countries during the '70s) and some of whose presidents have been involved in scandals, even if unrelated to this organization (ask Rodrigo Rato, Strauss-Kahn, or Christine Lagarde)

Greg Palast A far-left Journalist "forensic economist and activist chalk full of incredible sounding stories supported by laughably bad evidence. His work is defined by [[76] stupidity] and defamation of those who disagree with him. An example Palast constantly engages in name dropping and sexist commentary.

Daryl Gates was the Chief of the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) from 1978 to 1992. He was highly controversial due to his hardline, aggressive, paramilitary approach to law enforcement. He also earned notoriety for his controversial rhetoric on many occasions. Some of the most notable examples of this were: that infrequent or casual drug users "ought to be taken out and shot" because "we're in a war" and even casual drug use is considered "treason" and his dismissive response to concerns about excessive force by police employing "chokeholds." In 1982, Gates attributed several deaths of people held in chokeholds to the theory that "blacks might be more likely to die from chokeholds because their arteries do not open as fast as they do in 'normal people.'"

Emer PrevostCreate draft, apparently an awful MRA who died recently. Reader request. There's an ED article which may be mineable for actual sources.

24

The online Hapa community (or another title along these lines). There exists a moderately sizable, moderately vocal online community of half-white, half-Asian men pissed about the ubiquitousness of interracial couples composed of white men and Asian women, and who claim that having been born from such pairings themselves has bestowed them with mental illnesses, an inability to attract women, and hopeless futures among other things (they often cite Elliot Rodger as one of their numbers). r/Hapas is easily the community's principal watering hole; Model Minority is another. While the fetishization of Asian women is certainly a legitimate issue, this community often approaches the level of whininess, narcissism and misogyny characteristic of MRAs, MGTOWs, and Incels.

FisherofMenCreate draft, one of the oldest members of Youtube's Conspiracy community (And probably one of the craziest). Notable mostly because he was arrested in 2016 for threatening to attack what he believes are enemies to Christianity/America if some vague crisis happens (read: Gays/Non-Christians). While some of the more pleasant cranks like WhiteRabbit just simply hopes he gets better from his "Illness", FisherofMen has recently been released and is now framing himself as one of the first "Christian Martyrs" of the New World Order, despite his trial and sentencing being publicized.

16

Trumpwave is a subgenre of vaporwave and synthwave that focuses on Donald Trump. Vice writes that Trumpwave exploits vaporwave's ambivalence towards the corporate culture it engages with, allowing it to recast Trump as "the modern-day inheritor of the mythologized 80s, a decade that is taken to stand for racial purity and unleashed capitalism".

How about an article on PewDiePie, especially concerning the Wall Street Journal exposé on his anti-Semitic videos and the fallout that resulted from it. Also should document him slowly buddying up with the alt-right following the fiasco.

53

McDonald's coffee lawsuit is an infamous lawsuit usually brought up to show how obsessed Americans are with suing people. However the lawsuit is far more reasonable with the plaintiff suffering third degree burns, originally suing only for medical expenses and the coffee itself being so hot it was considered unfit for consumption which was an issue that McDonalds knew for years.

11

McMansion is a pejorative term for a large "mass-produced" dwelling, constructed with low-quality materials and craftsmanship, using a mishmash of architectural symbols to invoke connotations of wealth or taste, executed via poorly thought-out exterior and interior design. Note: A previous attempt was deleted in 2012.

12

Brett KeaneCreate draft, who apparently was the original YouTube atheist, being the inspiration for all others like TheAmazingAtheist et al., although he has since alternated between christianity and atheism, mainly because of plagiarism and vote boting his videos, as well as being an e-begger. Today has a very small audience. His wife divorced him due to domestic violence.

54

Cult of SaturnCreate draft, an ambiguous, but obviously evil (and nonexisting) cult that Conspiracy Theorists like to invoke when their Apophenia isn't working enough for the usual, boring Illuminati symbols to be shoehorned. Simple things like cubes and rings are proof of some grand Conspiracy.

40

Straight pride is a slogan that arose in the late 1980s and early 1990s and has been used primarily by social conservative groups as a political stance and strategy. The term is described as a response to gay pride adopted by various LGBT groups in the early 1970s or to the accommodations provided to gay pride initiatives. Straight pride backlash incidents have generated controversy and media attention. School policies and court decisions regarding freedom of expression have drawn particular attention, spotlighting individuals protesting school expressions against harassment of LGBT adolescents.

William Walker, 19th century American mercenary who in 1856 was hired to fight in the Nicaraguan civil war and decided to seize power for himself in the hopes of creating a pro-slavery, Amerocentric regime in Central America.

Uplift (science fiction), the process of a sentient species enhancing the intelligence of another species with transhumanist sci-fi technologies. Eliezer Yudkowsky of Less Wrong writes on the topic. Many believers in UFOs are hoping that space aliens will eventually grant us such a boon. It would compliment the page for Cybernetic revolt and could discuss the Cyberman's burden to assimilate and upgrade others against their will.

Steven Bonnell IICreate draft, better known as Destiny, is a Twitch streamer that recently gained fame for his debate with YouTuber JonTron. He also did debates with notable Anti-SPOOKs such as Lauren Southern and Sargon of Akkad (twice), as well as infamous "Pharma Bro" Martin Shkreli.

Thuggees Worshippers of the goddess Kali who according to colonial British sources believed themselves to have been created from her sweat, they were known to strangle travelers; Guinness Book of Records estimates they killed two million people and Political scientist David C. Rapoport says theya re the most destructive terrorist group in history. Mentioned as an example of nutpicking.

Eyewitness testimony A common police procedure known for being unreliable but also known for having terrible methodology in regards to preventing contamination.
An example of this is the police lineup which pressures the witness into picking someone out of the lineup even when the perpetrator isn't present

Foreign Workers in Asia and the Middle EastCreate draft. To support their families, people of low socioeconomic status from developing countries such as Indonesia and the Philippines often travel to perform unskilled labor in capacities such as domestic service and construction work in nouveau-riche countries such as Saudi Arabia, Dubai and Singapore, wherein they are often subject to borderline slave-like conditions, including rape, domestic abuse and non-payment of wages, against which they have no means of legal recourse.

22

Male gaze red linked on sexual objectification, the name is used frequently in feminist analysis in the arts and humanities, though it is used somewhat less in psychology or sociology. The article should also include the lesbian, gay, hetero sexual female and trans equivalents of the visual cues of objectification. On one hand the my face is up here T shirt makes a valid point, but on the other hand telling someone their glance hurts you or that their gaze makes the stars collapse outside the village menstrual hut can make them feel like Scott Summers; perhaps a see also for the evil eye. What constitutes an inappropriate amount of gawking can be difficult to quantify and varies by individual and culture but is a major and nebulous societal issue, while wearable tech that can record video complicates the issue.

Argumentum ad vos-fistulaCreate draft, literally, "argument from you-tube"; a logical fallacy where "facts" are cited to videos found on Youtube. Or just Argumentum ad YouTube if you want anyone to click on the title ever.

The Doctors, the CBS show that focuses on medical/health issues. Given its popular status, I think RationalWiki editors should have a look at it.

Perhaps an article on science advisers for fictional worksCreate draft in TV and film [80],Dr. John Underkoffler was one of the first for Steven Spielberg's Minority Report. Also ties into the authors of the science of superheroes books, Michio Kaku Science of the Impossible is another good source.

Inception the 2010 film about experiencing and interfacing with other peoples dreams through technology, compliments the article request for the equally fantastical Interstellar. This Forbes article mentions a team in Japan and can reconstruct simple black-and-white images the subject is viewing by analyzing the blood flow in the brain’s visual cortex. According to Dr. Jack Gallant "“I think it’s legitimate for some people to have some concerns about brain-reading technology being used for bad things, but nobody has to be worried about one of those bad things being writing stuff to the brain.” [81]

RecaptioningCreate draft or a less generic name - specifically, the alt-right practice of "redpilling" cartoons by other artists with white nationalist captions. Examples include Ben Garrison (whose opinions are half way there) and Sarah Andersen (whose opinions aren't).
